Je viens de me lancer sur le site artisans.coop !

Présenté comme une alternative a etsy, sous forme d'une coop donc possédé par ses membres ça fait quelques temps que j'étais interessé. Après quelques question sur comment envoyer a pas cher des choses aux usa (la majorité des visiteur sont de là bas) je me suis inscrit hier et je viens d'entrer mon premier produit !

https://artisans.coop/products/stim-toy-tunnel

Pour l'instant c'est difficile de trouver des gens qui envoient en europe mais plus on est d'européens plus ça fonctionnera

Tout n'est pas encore en place, je fais ça petit a petit mais je suis content d'avoir passé cette étape !
